Hi, before we get started on the tutorial on how to create a “Homemade FTP server” you will need to have the following requirement and if you need a printable version of this tutorial you can get it here :-

A router modem that support DHCP

Knowledge on router configuration

Filezilla Server

Filezilla Client

no-ip account

Make sure you are using the latest FileZilla Server and Client. If you do not have the software required you can download it directly from Filezilla website.

If you have everything in order lets start with the first procedure :-

Before you can use the server you need to create a “Username” in order for you to access the server, follow the instruction given bellow to create your username

Edit > Users

Under the “Page” column select “General”

Under the “Users” column click “Add” button

Enter the username that you desired and click “Ok”

When you are done with the “Users” settings, you need to setup the Shared folders

Under the “Page” column select “Shared folders”

Under the “Shared folders” column click “Add” to add the folder that you want to share

Done! its finish now you have your own at home FTP server, using the filezilla client you can access your server from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. If this tutorial is useful please donate USD1 for my study fund thanks!
